Protein Shakes And Fear Of Hurling



Recommended Posts

Be sure it's not dairy based. Milk really hurts tummy. I've been drinking EAS carb control strawberry flavor. I've done ok. Take it very slow. It should take like an hour to hour and a half to drink a shake. Hope u get better.

Also I barfed for two days after surgery. If u barf just hold ur left side tight and it's not so bad. Barf in a bag so u don't have to bend over.

10 days since a BM? Even when we had my grandma on liquids she would still have bm's, obviously very small. After 3 days they said it becomes toxic and builds up leaking into the blood stream if I remember correctly. Was the Dr. worried about it being 10 days?

Didn't you just get out of the hospital 2 days ago? Don't worry about Protein shakes for now. Stick with Clear Liquids till you body & tummy have time to adjust. You WILL lose weight down the road. Right now your priority is to heal and adjust to your new tummy.

Have you taken any stool softners? I really, really like Miralax. I just take about a teaspoon a day in 4oz of Water a day and it keeps me pretty regular. You will need to take the normal dosage of any stool softener to get going. That's IF you feel like you need to go. You may not because you haven't had much intake.

Take things day by day. You really don't want to get dehydrated or you will keep being nauseous.

Gentle hugs!!

I did just get out due to pnemonia and blood clot... Now its been 10 days and the Protein is going to be put on back burner. I feel like junk I am going to go to Walgreens tomorrow to buy stuff to fix problem and I emailed surgeon begging for zofran rx to replace my missing one.

Zofran is a seratonin blocker and may be contributing to your poor mood ,constipation and even get this, nausea. Perhaps your doc can give you something different to try. I was reading something today that said Appx 50% of scrips written in USA were ineffective at treating what they were written for. Guess that's why they call it medical practice!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
